00:00500 Filipinos have been rescued and returned to the Philippines
00:04after being trapped in a mess in Lebanon
00:06from Naia.
00:08Raffi Fima is live from Naia.
00:10Raffi.
00:15Emil Pasado, last seen this afternoon by Kuwaiti Airlines
00:18is the grandmother of 47 Filipinos
00:20from Lebanon.
00:22The repatriates are in good condition
00:24some of whom came from Southern Lebanon
00:27who are now targeting Israel's attack.
00:36It's a joyous occasion for the Filipinos
00:38who were rescued from Lebanon
00:40and are now in the country.
00:42Two children were among those who came to the OFW.
00:44I must say it's the biggest batch, you know?
00:47Since we started, since our President ordered
00:50since day one
00:52that Hiduahan and Sigalod
00:55between Hezbollah and the Israeli Defense Forces
00:58in October 2023.
01:00The OFWs are in good condition
01:03aside from the trauma they experienced.
01:05Aside from the 150,000 pesos from various agencies
01:09livelihood and skills training
01:11there is also psychosocial intervention for those in need.
01:14I'm very lucky to see that all 47
01:17are in good physical condition.
01:19They will still undergo physical examination
01:22and a psychological first aid
01:24for the crisis that they went through, right?
01:27So our experts in mental health are there.
01:30In total, 525 Filipinos have returned from Lebanon
01:35including 30 dependents.
01:37It is expected that in the next few days
01:39200 Lebanese authorities will process their papers.
01:44There are many OFWs in Lebanon
01:46who illegally reside in the country
01:48so many are hesitating to go home.
01:50364 have set flights, tickets
01:56so they're braced to come home in different flights.
01:59For now, the evacuation is still voluntary
02:02because the DFA is not yet raising the level 3 status of Lebanon
02:04in Alert Level 4.
02:06It will do so once the chaos is more widespread.
02:09And because it will be more difficult to go out of Lebanon
02:11during the mandatory evacuation
02:14the DFA is already negotiating.
02:15I will not lie to you, I will not promise
02:17that we will answer all of you 100%
02:20if there is a full war, that's why there is a war.
02:22So for now, I have a plan for you.
02:25Please, take advantage.
02:27That's all for now.
02:32According to an OFW who agreed to talk to the media
02:35even though he has experienced a lot of chaos in Lebanon
02:37this is the worst thing that has happened
02:39because the bombings are near to their homes
02:42so he decided to go home.
02:45Meanwhile, the repatriates who have no relatives
02:47are staying in the hotels
02:49and according to the DMW, they are trying to raise
02:52the financial aid for OFWs from conflict zones
02:56like Lebanon, so they can go home
02:58instead of staying in the war
02:59and just go home to their country.
03:02That's all for now from IA.
03:04Emil.
03:05Thank you very much, Rafi Tiba.
